My Clone Wars Stories Episode 26: Rex Rush

Characters: Captain Rex, Aky Slinth, Do Bby, Commando Droids, Battle Droids, Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Kit Fisto.

Narration: “On the run! After Separatist forces attacked his outpost, Captain Rex was forced to blow up the outpost! Now, Rex is on the run, trying to find a way to contact Coruscant!”

Captain Rex moves slowly, not rushing, across a hedgerow, trying to avoid Separatist forces. He pauses briefly as Battle Droids on Stap ships fly past, unaware of his position. Rex stands up once they have disappeared and continues on his way. Rex walks onward, hoping to find somewhere with a transmitter, when he hears a noise behind him, and sees six Commando Droids heading his way, Rex draws out his DC-17 blaster pistols just as the Commando Droids open fire, forcing Rex to scurry for cover. Rex shoots at them from a prone position, and is satisfied to see a couple of bolts destroying one Commando Droid. Rex throws a thermal detonator, which destroys four more. Rex quickly dispatches of the last one before heading on his way…

Rex soon finds himself on the edge of a Droid outpost. Rex decides, that to enter, he needs a distraction. Rex takes out his last thermal detonator and throws it to one side of the outpost, before heading through the other side as the explosion happens. Rex watches squads of Battle Droids heading toward where the detonator exploded, before heading into the control centre. Rex hears a Battle Droid say to a Battle Droid Commander “Report just came in. The detonator took out one squad, several squads heading there to inspect for anything unusual”. At this moment, Rex leaps out and calls “Surprise!” before quickly shooting down the Droids. Rex walks calmly to the destroyed bodies, takes a quick look around, and grabs a transmitter, before placing several explosive charges in the command centre. Rex grabs the transmitter, and leaves, before detonating the command centre. Rex walks back to the hedgerows, takes out the transmitter, and contacts Coruscant.

Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano and Master Kit Fisto are there when the transmission is made. Fisto checks and says to the other two, “Unidentified signal” and Anakin says “Could be a trap” and Fisto replies “I don’t like this”. Fisto prepares to deactivate the transmission, before Ahsoka intervenes, saying “Wait! What if it’s a stranded Clone, or JedI. Remember that there has been no word on Rex?” and Anakin replies “Your right!” before grabbing the transmitter and saying clearly “Is that you, Rex?” and Rex replies “Copy that, Sir!” before adding “I’m stranded on the planet me and Bultar Swan were defending, can you assist me?” and Anakin replies “We’ll do our best” before they both hear a clicking noise.

Rex turns around, and realizes he has been found, as Aky Slinth and Do Bby are both pointing blasters at him. Slinth grabs Rex’s weapons and tosses them away, before taking the transmitter for himself. Do Bby then handcuffs Rex, and they lead him to the outpost Rex just invaded. Rex is then put in a prison cell, left to die”.

Back on Coruscant, Ahsoka says “So, Masters, how are we going to rescue Rex?”. Anakin replies “I don’t like this. Not one bit. He’s stranded on what is now a Separatist world, which is going to make a invasion reckless”. Ahsoka says “But you like the ‘reckless’, Master Skywalker” and Anakin replies “Fine, impossible, that better?”, but before Ahsoka can reply, Kit Fisto says “Impossible, no, impossible for a Jedi, yes. What we need, is someone else. Someone they will not suspect” as the story ends!
